Organization

In this culture, power is determined by a merit-based system. Merchants are most highly regarded. Men are dominant. Social mobility is only possible through military service.

Religion

This religion has a single all-powerful god. Every Wednesday they gather for reflection, followed by study. Believers meet in mosques to engage in guided meditation and hear from a guru.

Taboos

Not washing hands before eating is a violation of cultural norms.

Refusing a gift is a grave sin.

Failing to hold the door open for someone is considered an act of treachery.

Greetings

Formal situations require the lesser person to kneel. If the status difference is slight, it is only kneeling on one knee. If the status difference is great, the lesser person must prostrate themselves. In informal situations, simple nodding the head is acceptable.

Meals

Eating is seen as a spiritual practice, with prayers and offerings made before and after meals.

Design

Nature-inspired motifs are celebrated for their simplicity and elegance.

Music

Koelmyne music has a single rhythm with a fast beat. It is quiet, with simple harmony. It has a simple melody with a low pitch in a major key. Usually, it has a dark timbre.
